Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Bristol

Very nice part of Bristol for students. Convenient transport links into city centre and out to UWE. Plenty of local shops. Sainsburys at the end of the road.

Fast road, local shops and pubs are not in walking distance, parking is very awkward. Carpets have been removed upstairs so very loud. Basement flat has no soundproofing. I have had to call 999 because someone was banging on my window, police turned up 3 days later. Someone throwing bins around in the street at night. Again police 2-3 day response.

Great transport, close shopping and restaurants. The area is in a quiet and isolated area if that’s what you like.

The area was nice , I can’t complain about it. The only thing was that it took a long time to get to the centre.

The house is located next to a student house on the left and a 3 storey council flats on the right. There is a known crackhead living in the council house and the police would often be called due to men brandishing axes and occasionally chase people on the street. Police would often attend. There is also a guy who clearly needs to be 24/7 institutionalised as he likes to smoke right next to my ground floor rear bedroom window and stars in at a distance of 1.5m away from his garden. NHS contractors would often come to get him in a van and he would disappears for a few days.
There is also regular domestic violence heard from a couple next door and the police are often called out.

The addition of a Sainsburys downstairs was great. So close to the train station. Easy walk to castle park. Only issue is the noise from people leaving motion if you're on one of the lower floors and sleep with the window open.

Decent neighbours, fairly quiet. OK transport links. Close to shops and local High Street.

Being so close to lodge causeway you get a healthy dose of Bristol finest bin kickers but also everything you need is close by, you've got a Tesco express and 17 barbershops (I've actually counted them). A perfect mix in my opinion. I miss seeing the self proclaimed 'sideways sally' dancing outside my house with a bottle of lambrini periodically headbutting the bus stop, sometimes I still take a detour down Charlton road just to catch a glimpse of some of the craziness. Pizza Milano used to be good, but they've put their prices up and started to use frozen bases, not many places in Bristol though where you can get a pizza and a portion of chips. Swings and roundabouts...

Redland is a very pleasant place to live.

Good location, easy transport to city centre, surrounded by shops and other local amenities.
